Roland V-Card VC-1 D-50 Owner's manual

Type
Owner's manual
The V-Synth XT comes with the VC-1 and VC-2 titles
from Roland's “V-Card” software series preinstalled.
Without having to cycle power to the unit, you can sim-
ply press a single switch to transform the V-Synth XT
into a completely different product.
VC-1 “D-50” transforms the V-Synth XT into a sound
module that's equivalent to the Roland D-50 (a classic
digital synthesizer that was released in 1987). Not just the
preset patches, but every bit of functionality has been
faithfully reproduced, giving you that distinctive D-50
sound with the stability of modern hardware.

VC-2 “Vocal Designer” transforms the V-Synth XT into
a cutting-edge vocal modeling processor. By playing a
keyboard while you speak into the mic, you can create
beautiful and clearly intelligible human choruses as well
as many other vocal-type sounds with unprecedented
quality.

Introduction
fig.01-01
The VC-1 comes complete with all 64 of the D-50’s preset patches,
including the famous preset tones “
Fantasia
” and “
Digital
Native Dance
.” It also is programmed with the D-50/D-550
sound libraries
PN-D50-01
04
(with 256 patches). Since it
naturally handles
MIDI bulk dumps
, you can use the VC-1 to
create your own original tunes exactly as you would with your
D-50. Of course, this gives you a perfect simulation of the D-50’s
tones, from the sound generator algorithms to editing of the
parameters! It even reproduces the subtle nuances obtained when
playing the instrument.
In addition, it also comes with an additional 64 new patches, which use waves (28 types) that are so large
that the original D-50 would have been technologically incapable of containing them.)
All sound generator parameters are assignable to the V-Synth XT’s full complement of editing controls.
Parameters can also be edited with the touch panel, allowing you to almost instantly turn your creative
inspirations (no matter how fleeting) into sounds you can use. Whether the fun of creating sounds or
pleasure of performing, this far outdoes the original.
Internal processing upgraded with the latest technology vastly improves the response and dynamic range
from the time you press the keys to the moment the sounds are played. The V-Synth XT hardware is used
as the means of outputting sounds, which means it’s also compatible with digital outputs (optical/
coaxial). This gives you a
legacy synthesizer with professional specs
good enough for the latest
recording environments.

Introduction
What is the digital synthesizer: D-50?
The D-50, released in 1987, was Roland’s first fully digital synthesizer. Equipped with an LA
(Linear Arithmetic Synthesis) format sound generator that combined PCM and subtractive
synthesis, it opened the door to countless new sounds for levels of creativity surpassing
anything up to that point. The D-50 is a renowned, historically significant synthesizer that
Roland, the company that laid the foundation for digital synthesizers, is proud to have
created.
The D-550, also released in 1987, shrank the D-50's powerful synthesizer engine into a mere
two rack spaces.
Now, more than fifteen years after it came on the scene, the D-50 continues to be used by
creative artists around the world. There are numerous sound libraries stocked with many
original patches. In the course of time, however, keyboards and buttons age and wear out. It
looked like the day would come when the D-50’s sounds would no longer be heard.
In taking up the challenge of realizing new possibilities for the synthesizer, Roland has
created a revolution in technology. At the same time, we want you to continue to using your
treasured D-50 with peace of mind. Hence, the VC-1, which transforms your V-Synth XT into
a D-50, not only sweeps away any worries about your D-50 growing old, but also offers new
potential that goes beyond the original instrument.
We hope that you will discover and enjoy the unrealized potential that the D-50 still offers.
And if you have never played the D-50, you definitely need to check out its vintage sounds.
